I've been lurking here for quite a while so i thought i'd better step forward and introduce myself :D

My name is Stephen and i live in Clonsilla in Dublin with my partner and our 8 cats. We have just adopted our first cavalier, through Karlin icon_thumbsup We've had her almost 24 hrs and she's already taken over the best sleeping spots, she's really a cat in a dogs body :lol:

No doubt i'll have lots of questions in the coming weeks as we get to know our new baby :D

Welcome Stephen! I always knew it was just a matter of time before you got your first cavalier... :lol: Stephen has brought Molly, from my breed rescue post, to live in his crowded house. 8)

The very first night the first foster had Molly, she said that around bedtime Molly disappeared upstairs and had curled up on their bed! We can all confirm cavaliers are experts at finding the softest and warmest places...

For those who don't know, Lorraine was Molly's second foster so we have kept her all within the family here... :lol:

You will soon be under her spell and smitten with this adorable breed.

Welcome, Stephen. These dogs are such love sponges! Before we got ours, I swore she would not be allowed in my bedroom because I didn't want to sleep with dog hair. Scarlett is 8 months and sleeps with my husband and me most nights when she isn't with one of our girls. Congratulations! You are about to be wrapped around the little paw of one of the sweetest animals ever! :D

Hi Fidelma, I only joined a few days ago myself. She's Daisy Boo and we bought her as a wedding present to ourselves in August. She's five months old now and we can't imagine life without her. My husband had ruby cavaliers as a child and I'd never even seen one until July when we went to pick her out (picture of litter below). We're talking about getting another one to keep her company while we work but we're going to wait at least 6 months so that she gets the attention she deserves. How old are your dogs?
